Why Make a Gift of Securities?
“Giving donations of securities has important tax benefits. There are variables to consider, including capital gains, and how to maximize your benefits will depend on your particular situation. It’s a great idea to talk to your financial advisor about what works best for you.
I personally give securities because I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing my donations go to work right away. And I know that, for Ontario Nature, they can put my gift to use immediately, funding the most urgent priorities for nature.”
